Ableton Live

“I’ve tried to get into other DAWs many times, but it always comes back to Ableton. There’s something to be said for going directly to a sound and being able to chop it, stretch it, pitch it or copy it to a Drum Rack or Sampler directly from the timeline.

“Ableton is true drag-and-drop technology, and no one else has been able to make their DAW quite so easy to operate. The addition of Max makes it deeper than ever before. I’m always debating the sound quality, but there’s no denying this is a composer’s dream DAW.”
